اعْلَمْ أَيَّدَنَا اللَّهُ وَإِيَّاكَ أَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الخَلِيلَ قَالَ لِابْنِهِ إِنِّىٓ أَرَىٰ فِى ٱلْمَنَامِ أَنِّىٓ أَذْبَحُكَ وَالمَنَامُ حَضْرَةُ الخَيَالِ فَلَمْ يُعَبِّرْهَا وَكَانَ كَبْشٌ ظَهَرَ فِي صُورَةِ ابْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ فِي الْمَنَامِ فَصَدَّقَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ الرُّؤْيَا فَفَدَاهُ رَبُّهُ مِنْ وَهْمِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بِالذَّبْحِ العَظِيمِ الَّذِي هُوَ تَعْبِيرُ رُؤْيَاهُ عِندَ اللَّهِ وَهُوَ لَا يَشْعُرُ فَالتَّجَلِّي الصُّورِيُّ فِي حَضْرَةِ الخَيَالِ مُحْتَاجٌ إِلَى عِلْمٍ آخَرَ بِهِ يُدْرَكُ مَا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ بِتِلْكَ الصُّورَةِ
Know—may God strengthen us and you—that Abraham the Intimate Friend said to his son: "I see in sleep that I am sacrificing you" [Q 37:102]. Sleep is the presence of imagination, yet he did not interpret it. It was a ram that had become manifest in the form of Abraham's son in sleep, but Abraham took the vision as literally true. So his Lord ransomed him from Abraham's imagination (wahm) with the tremendous sacrifice, which is the interpretation of his vision with God, while he [Abraham] was not aware [of it]. Thus the formal self-disclosure in the presence of imagination is in need of another knowledge through which is perceived what God intended by that form.

﴿(الصافات: 102) . فالمنام حضرة الخيال فلم يعبرها و كان كبشا ظهر في صورة ابن إبراهيم في المنام فصدق إبراهيم الرؤيا، ففداه ربه من وهم إبراهيم بالذبح العظيم الذي هو تعبير رؤياه عند الله تعالى وهو لا يشعر. فالتجلي الصوري في حضرة الخيال محتاج إلى علم آخر يدرك به ما أراد الله تعالى بتلك الصورة. ألا ترى كيف قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم لأبي بكر في تعبير الرؤيا: «أصبت بعضا وأخطأت بعضا» فسأله أبو بكر أن يعرفه ما أصاب فيه وما أخطأ فلم يفعل. وقال الله تعالى لإبراهيم عليه السلام حين ناداه: «أن يا إبراهيم قد صدقت الرؤيا» وما قال له صدقت في الرؤيا أنه ابنك: لأنه ما عبرها، بل أخذ بظاهر ما رأى، والرؤيا تطلب التعبير. ولذلك قال العزيز﴾

The ibnalarabi.com texts sometimes print other hands inside a commentary: Bālī Zāde's glosses inside al-Qāshānī («إضافة بالي زادة»), and notes by the modern editor (al-muḥaqqiq) or compiler (al-jāmiʿ). We cut these out of the commentator's own text and show them as separate entries, each labelled with its author and the line of the file it came from.
Arabic of the commentaries from the OpenITI digital texts (each comment links to its line); Bosnevî's Ottoman Turkish from our collation of two OCRs of the 1873 Istanbul print (each comment links to its page scan at HathiTrust); passages matched to the commentators' quotations automatically.English translations of the commentaries and of the passage are AI (Claude) and marked. Differences are computed by comparing the words each commentator quotes with our working text; they may reflect a different manuscript reading, a paraphrase, or an alignment error. About this text.
